Addiction, whether to substances like alcohol and drugs or behavioral patterns such as gambling or an eating disorder, can wreak havoc on individuals and their loved ones. My expertise lies in treating addiction across a spectrum, including behavioral addictions, eating disorders, and mental health crises. Beyond addressing substance abuse, I specialize in tackling the associated feelings of shame, depression, and anxiety. Recovery from addiction and related mental health challenges involves a holistic approach, encompassing the strengthening of mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and stressor-related disorders, substance abuse, dual diagnosis, and high-risk behaviors such as suicidality and self-harm.

Psychotherapy is rational and accessible. It is not some esoteric, undefinable, mystical process that only some people can grasp, a faith that only converts believe in and others do not. It is a logical process which anyone can understand and follow. There is no reason for anything in a session to be unreasonable or mysterious. On the contrary, in good psychotherapy every step should make complete sense to you, the patient; you may end up in strange territory, but it should be entirely clear to you how you got there.

People often tell me they want a therapist who will both listen AND have something to say. I believe that emotional safety and good two-way communication must be established in order for therapy to be successful.

Everyone has the potential to make life-affirming changes. However, many of us move through our lives relying on unhealthy coping mechanisms. Learning to pause and reframe our responses to difficult situations can create better outcomes, deeper relationships, and more life satisfaction.

Using a strengths-based perspective, we’ll build upon the gifts you already possess to bust through the patterns of thinking and behavior keeping you from accomplishing your goals.

A little on edge? Feeling empty? Afraid to trust? Things can feel overwhelming until they’re dissected and explained. Anxiety just wants a plan. Depression is just pointing to a hole or void in our life. Trauma just wants assurance that the traumatic thing won’t happen to us again. All of these are just smoke alarms put in place to keep us safe and whole. Everything we feel makes sense; we aren’t crazy and we aren’t lost causes. Areas Of Focus: Anxiety, depression, youth and family dynamics, finding meaning and purpose, and trauma and adjustment disorders. Catch me on “Fatal Attraction” S13E8! ... Tiktok: dimariobell
